Card Machines for Barbershop Businesses
The UK barbering industry is thriving, with nearly 18,000 barbershops operating nationwide and thousands more opening over the past few years. Most are independent businesses, and around 94% employ fewer than five people, making fast, reliable payments essential to keeping chairs full and cash flow steady.
Customer payment habits have changed dramatically. According to UK Finance, contactless payments now account for the majority of card transactions in the UK, with billions of tap-to-pay purchases made every quarter. Clients increasingly expect to pay by card, phone, or smartwatch – especially for quick services like haircuts and beard trims.
